Your Employer May Match Your
Donations to Mercy-USA
Your employer may increase your gift through its corporate matching
program. Many companies in the US and Canada will match the donations
of their employees, retirees, and employees’ spouses. Mercy-USA for Aid
and Development has received matching gifts from companies like American
Express, Cisco Systems, Citicorp, Ericson, Microsoft, Pfizer, Sun
Microsystems, etc.
Corporate matching gifts are a very easy way to stretch the benefits of your
contribution. Please ask your employer today, if they have such a matching
gift program.
Also, if your company has a “United Way” campaign that allows you to
direct your contribution to charities other than United Way, please take
advantage of the opportunity to do so. If your company restricts giving to
a list of “approved” charities, please ask your human resources department
how you can add Mercy-USA to that list.
We have found that merely having an employee ask to include his or her
special charity to the list is usually all it takes. For more information on this
and other alternative ways to give, please call us at 1-800-55-MERCY.

Under a grant worth almost $3 million from the United States Department of Agriculture, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development (M-USA) is establishing an Agriculture Education Center (AEC) in the Brcko District of Bosnia. This center is being initiated and carried out in cooperation with district authorities, who have donated about one acre of farmland, and the Agriculture Institute of Sarajevo, which is providing technical assistance.
The AEC project, which includes the construction of a 10,890 square-foot greenhouse that is to be completed by July 2006, will serve as a theoretical and practical training center for all of our beneficiary farmers plus all farmers in and around the Brcko District. It is expected that this project, initiated under this USDA grant, will directly and indirectly benefit approximately 4,000 farmers per year.
From August 2003 to March 2006, under this same USDA grant, M-USA distributed poultry (egg-layer and broiler) packages, fruit tree packages with hand tools, chainsaws, bees and beehives, hay trimmers, livestock feed mills or greenhouses to 2,369 farming families.
In addition, M-USA provided over 1,780 of these families with training specific to their choice of input through group seminars on poultry and orchard care, greenhouse production and beekeeping. Additionally, Mercy-USA contracted with local agronomists to ensure that on-site consultation and technical support was available to any client family that needed it.
In 2004, M-USA’s subcontractor for the forestry and agri-training components, Counterpart International (CPI), assisted approximately 1,500 families under the forestry component, and about 75 acres of forest were cleaned and thinned out to restore biodiversity. Also, during that same period, CPI trained approximately 2,000 family farmers through technical support seminars on a variety of topics including: orchard planting; sunflower and rape seed oil production; medicinal herb production; protection of fruit trees from illnesses and pests; and the economics of fruit growing and oil seed and medicinal herb production, etc.
The projects, funded under this USDA agreement, have impacted approximately 15,000 people directly through the distribution of agricultural inputs and seedlings, as well as the provision of technical training. In addition, thousands more have indirectly benefited through general improvements to the Brcko District’s environment. With USDA’s support, Mercy-USA has helped returnee and formerly displaced families take an important step towards a return to self-sufficiency in the near and long term by facilitating the production of food at home.
In February 2003, M-USA signed its third United States Government agricultural development grant agreement for Bosnia. With this third USDA grant, M-USA is continuing a USDA-funded project started in 1999 to revive the small farming businesses of returnee and displaced families in the Brcko District of Bosnia.
Since 1998, Mercy-USA has been providing training to individuals in the leading basic office software. This project is increasing the office/clerical and computer skills of trainees and thus their employability. As of December 2005, over 1,100 persons have graduated from this program. Forty-two persons are currently enrolled in the training sessions.
In 2004, Mercy-USA initiated a series of two-month long intensive English language courses in Srebrenik Municipality in northeastern Bosnia. As of December 2005, over 200 adults had successfully completed these courses. Forty-one persons are currently enrolled in the program.

Mercy-USA Receives New US Government Grant in Somalia
On September 14, 2007, Mercy-USA for Aid and Development received a new grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This grant, valued at over $300,000, will help us to open three new clinics and three feeding centers that will provide health and nutrition services to approximately 20,000 vulnerable women and children in south-central Somalia.
The three Maternal and Child Health (MCH) centers are opening in the districts of Buloburte and Beletweyne in the Hiraan Region and in the Jowhar District of the Middle Shabelle Region. These MCH centers will primarily serve 1,400 pregnant and lactating women and 7,000 children in these isolated communities. Medical services provided will include prevention and treatment of malaria, diarrhea and other infectious diseases, immunization, pre-natal and post-natal care, as well as health education. Health education activities will focus on training and promoting awareness of best practices at the household level to prevent common illnesses and infections.
The three Supplemental Feeding Program (SFP) centers are opening in the districts of Buloburte and Beletweyne in the Hiraan Region. These SFP centers will primarily serve 14,000 children and 2,800 pregnant and lactating women in these isolated communities. The services provided will include emergency feeding for malnourished children, provision of vitamins, immunization and nutrition education activities. To promote improved feeding practices, Mercy-USA will carry out food demonstration exercises to train mothers on the preparation of balanced meals using locally available food.
Somalia has one of the highest child and maternal mortality rates in the world. One in four children dies before reaching the age of five and 1,600 women die for every 100,000 live births.
A September 2007 study by UNICEF estimates that 83,000 children in the central and southern parts of the country, where M-USA is working, are suffering from malnutrition and 13,500 of these children are severely malnourished and at risk of dying.
